Was the Industrial Revolution a mistake?
No, the advantages outweigh the drawbacks.
Kaczynski did nothing wrong though, he was driven insane in a failed MKULTRA experiment and that is why he had trouble getting his priorities straight.
It's more of a pandora's box.
Technology is inherently anti-freedom.
Scientists are actively working to destroy the human race.

Who?
I posted this on /pol/ initially
I used to be an atheist. After I became redpilled, I became Catholic. I love the history of Catholicism. The doctrines make sense in a biblical and historical context. I would get fed up with the popes cuckoldry and go experiment with secular philosophy and once even some /fringe/ stuff, but I always come back to Catholicism because it has the most answers, it feels safe, and it is well established. Now, I am getting to a point where I am doubting again. The Church is getting weak, the pope is getting cuckier, and even my own Church's leaders are getting more liberal. My priest will just say stuff like "just keep doing what your doing" for my penance, after I tell him my sins. Catholics don't have an identity anymore, many people in the Church don't think twice about the Church before engaging in degeneracy. I have been instructed by my priest not to look towards secular philosophers, he said a lot of that stuff was "poison", but I need some sort of guidance. I cannot go to protestantism, I just don't believe in protestantism, nor orthodoxy. I look at so many intelligent figures, like leaders of the third Reich, and many of them were not religious, though they realized the good of organized religion. Still, I find it hard to leave the Church, half because when I read Catholic books like The Lord of the Rings and look into the history of Europe, I feel as though I would be leaving that all behind by leaving the institution that made it all possible. The other half is that, even though I may not have full faith anymore, I still fear Hell, and if Catholicism is true, I don't want to abandon Jesus Christ, I don't want to abandon God. What is /his/'s opinion on this?

how does that happen exactly? did you find some miracilous proof of god that no one sees?
>I have been instructed by my priest not to look towards secular philosophers, he said a lot of that stuff was "poison",
What kind of awful Priest would tell you that.
>The Church is getting weak, the pope is getting cuckier,
There is literally nothing Pope Francis has said that isn't in line with Catholic Dogma.
>existing in a reality stable enough to allow speculation of whether or not it is meaningless
>there are no truths even though there must be some absolute principle that presupposes reality being coherent enough to question
Is nihilism the ultimate cock philosophy?

'knowledge' is incoherent. Everything is ultimately just 'beliefs', which are mental states that precede and dictate conscious behavior. Beliefs are based, fundamentally, on inductive assumptions.
Again, you can describe a mind as exhibiting beliefs but 'possessing absolute knowledge' is an incoherent spook.

I've recently found out my family tree leads to Robert II of Scotland but I'm too stupid to find out if that leads directly back to William the Conqueror. Can you help a homie out?
Just wanna make sure, this isn't American for "I just found out I share a surname with some European noble"?

Since neither of these two civilisations get their fair discussion, let's talk about the Mycenaeans and the Minoans. Military, architecture, art, religion, anything.

Why did Europe let the Ottomans to conquer Constantinople? I know everyone hated the Greeks but nothing can be worse than the t*rks.

This is a broad question, but how do you feel about Bahá'í? The core ideas are interesting, it provides a clear expression of its moral values, and it peaches tolerance even when faced with contradiction of its principles.
My big point of interest though is with the founder, who claimed to be the last manifestation of God. I wonder if the reasoning behind this is along the lines of "Here guys, I'm telling you all how it's supposed to be, no one is coming after me, it's finally time for you all to work this all out."

Why would god allow false prophets to rise up and subvert the masses when all it would accomplish is diminishing the voice of his true prophets and risks preventing people from every hearing the truth?

>Many were trapped under the debris of collapsed homes, crying for help, but were unable to escape and were eventually burned to death in the ensuing fires. Because those who were still alive were all badly injured, no one could afford to help one another. All one could do was to run away. I ran away to a nearby park with my mother, all the time looking at the people who were fleeing. Their clothes were all tattered and their singed hair bristled and stood on end. Years later the Hiroshima city government requested survivors to paint or draw pictures depicting their horrific experiences and these were collected. I was greatly moved and shocked by these graphic depictions showing people with burnt and swollen hands and faces like grotesque masks. Others were shown holding their exposed intestines and bowels, trying to prevent them from falling out. Some had an eyeball hanging down from their eye socket. A mother was holding a child with a missing ear; crying,” Oh, poor baby!” The burnt skin on the arms of many people became blistered and broken hanging down like rags, so they couldn’t their arms down and had to walk zombie-like with outstretched arms. Most people lost the ability to think and they just wandered with blank stares trying to escape the fear. Stopping would only make the fear real again and so everyone just aimlessly kept on walking as much and as long possible.
